But when you got fifteen twenty people screaming 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: your name and singing your records, that reminds them of 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: a time when they were like in seventh eighth grade 40 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: or in high school or college. Um, that's the most refreshing, 41 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: humble feeling that I've had in a long time. So 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm super super grateful to still be doing it and 43 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: i still love it. That's the cool part.

And I 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: feel like, although I'm twenty three years in, I'm just 46 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: getting started at the same time.

How was that for you? And I 50 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: was nervous. So I was raised in Miami for six 51 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: years and I was in this group yeah erubbed the 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: log and and all that. Yeah, I was. I was 53 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: scared because prior to that, we auditioned as a group. 54 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: I was in the group with this guy named Terrell, 55 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: Terrell and Philip and uh. When we sent the audition 56 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: tape in, they called back and they was like, we 57 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: want the youngest one. That was me. I was tend 58 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: at the time. So it was my first time I 59 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: ever performing. Yeah by myself was the first time I 60 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: stepped on a big stage like that. And Steve Harvey 61 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: was the host at the time, and I went out there. 62 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: My mom said, if I could conquer New York, though, 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: I could take over the world. And when she said that, 64 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: it kind of stuck with me. When I went out 65 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: there and did my thing standing ovation. Then that led 66 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: to Dallas Austin and Joyce Rby This cover me and 67 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of you know, building my career from there.

That's a lot of 174 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: money at the time for eighteen year old kid fresh 175 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: out of high school. Is a guy knew like.

I was in Houston for 247 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: Tycoon with fifty Right and as with Jazz Princeton, the 248 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: studio always playing some stuff for my album at R, 249 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: S V P and UM music is a feeling out 250 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: of thought. I'm a church boy, like you have to 251 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: really really speak to the souls of women to to 252 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: be in the game this long. I know that because 253 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing it. You know what I'm saying, Um, you 254 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: gotta be transparent, you gotta be vulnerable, you gotta be 255 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: masculine enough to say things that we talk about each other, 256 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: probably in the barbershop at the bar, but we never 257 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: want to tell our girl that because we feel like 258 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: we're weak. If if we expressed that, Nah, I'm I'm emotional, 259 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm a pisces, I'm sensitive. I'm not afraid to say 260 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: those things that are deemed weak. But a woman really 261 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: appreciates it. So I think as long as you're being 262 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: honest and transparent, less autoh, more of your voice, that's 263 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: for R and B. You know what, you know why 264 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: the feeling of R and B is gone, It's not 265 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: just hip hop. Is that rappers are able to sing 266 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: quote unquote. That's what killed R and everybody trying to 267 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: act like it's like this big, big mystery, nainitely like 268 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: who don't Yeah, So you throw the auto tune and 269 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: it takes the filing out of feeling, out of music. 270 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: But why why the flip do you think is? And 271 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: we were debating before you came in, like why do 272 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: you think that R and B artists are becoming more 273 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: like rappers, like they're singing about streets. That's also easy 274 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: because it depends on what you want. So me, I 275 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: haven't been on the radio, y'all radio record Sammy since 276 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: kiss Me to the Phone.

Right, So, 279 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: Sammy doesn't care about Billboard, already got a number one, 280 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: already wrote one for Tank, already got a top three. 281 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Sammy don't care about platinum and being gold. The music free. 282 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: You pay every month to some digital streaming platform, right, 283 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: and you get everybody's catalog.

If you've got 285 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: ten dollars, you get everybody ship. Not just saying so, 286 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm not on the dumb ship. I'm not on the 287 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: chasing the numbers. I've already done all that. So let 288 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: me ask you this because this is another discussion that 289 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: we were having before you came. Because my point of 290 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: view is when you talk about niggas like the Chris 291 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: Browns and the tri songs, you know, those type of 292 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: niggas that really come from like the places that are 293 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: really about that life. You can't really call them an 294 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: R and B nigga is trying to act like a 295 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: rapper because they really are about that ship and that's 296 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: what they come from. So it's like they're really just 297 00:13:52,320 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: about their real life. You see what I'm saying. I'm not. Yeah, did, 298 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: I definitely said that, But what I'm saying is you can't. 299 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: You can't Chris Brown, a Trey song singer nigger trying 300 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: to act like a rap nigger when they really come from. 301 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: We didn't do that.

We're saying for everybody else, every R 303 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: and B nigger that ain't even known what he's saying 304 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: when here on, y'all come and say not because that's 305 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: what they come from.

Because again, 310 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. If you care about Billboard. If 311 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: you care about being on top ten on radio, right, 312 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: then you have to create the same music that Future 313 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: is doing and thug and gunna like you still Now 314 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: that's it's It's a mind fun though, because because because 315 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: what it is is hip hop turn pop, right, Yeah, 316 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: so hip hop popular music overrules everything. Whatever is popular 317 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: is what it is. And hip hop is the number 318 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: one genre in the world. So we try too.

You know what she 332 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: was when she heard crazy things kiss me through the 333 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: phone and come with me, and you should be my girl, 334 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: like hardball. They know. You know what I'm saying. That's nostalgia, 335 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: that's ever lasting, timeless music. So why would I deviate 336 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: from that in my adulthood. If I know that now 337 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: at five to thirty five, I can create such a catalog, 338 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: that means at sixty, I'm still here if I want 339 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: to be grown and sexy and performing and charging whatever 340 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: I want to charge for tours. So it's just about 341 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: a preference. If you care about chasing mainstream, then you're 342 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: gonna sing rap and turn on the auto tune and 343 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: and and fit in with everybody else, you know what 344 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But if you want to be ever lasting, 345 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: then you're gonna give people that's going to pack the souls. 346 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: And once you get that soul, man, you got them forever. Yeah, 347 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of people you know, And and it's 348 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: it's so many layers to an executive sign the bullshit. Now, 349 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, I used to go through artist development before 350 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: they put me out. When they signed me and Apollo, 351 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: they didn't just throw me out to the world. You 352 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They made shot. I knew how 353 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: to speak, I know how to enunciate. I knew how 354 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,119 Speaker 1: to uh swerve a question that would call some controversy 355 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: if I answered the correctly. They made me do conditioning 356 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: and sing to boys the Men album straight to make 357 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: sure I don't get winded on Nah these days.

You even you either evolved 367 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: or you evaporated. Let me ask you this, since we're 368 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: speaking on raw voices and you know, natural flow without 369 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: any enhancements and all that kind of ship. What happened 370 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: at the Persons? Yeah, I mean it was it was 371 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: a lot happening. What happening you know, you know, you know, 372 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, for me, for me, and would be honest 373 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: and all these all these guys are my guys, right, 374 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because I got a group 375 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: the rs VP. Yeah, shout out to Ray, Shout out 376 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: to a Pleasure, shout out to valor Um. It was 377 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: a lot first of all, uh after after Versus though, 378 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: the only two people that were talking about that could 379 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: sing was myself and Mario. Right but right, I didn't 380 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: even go there to sing, like I've been a Corona 381 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: already know I could sing, So it's not even what 382 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: Versus is about. Versus is like about compete and record 383 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: the record. So really I came there personally to pop 384 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: my ship, you know what I'm saying, which is that 385 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: which I did. But the people that exposed themselves truthfully, 386 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: I've always known that they aren't the strongest vocally. The 387 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: world just didn't know, and they also have They also 388 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: have known that. But you know, I will say this, 389 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: we had the largest view, the most controversial, most talked 390 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: about Versus to date thus far right, and I think 391 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: there's a blessing in the chaos of it all. Everybody 392 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: quote unquote are saying they want real singing back, in 393 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: real music back, and we'll see how true that is. 394 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: Because if that was true, artists like Luke James, Avery Wilson, 395 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Ross, Uh, Lucky Day, who's amazingly talented on stage 396 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: and off.

I shouldn't have even been in relationship at 518 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: that time, and then uh one was maybe my karmel. 519 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

Yeah, 526 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean my job is to please the ladies. 527 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Everything that I am is 528 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: because of a woman. You feel me everything like, Yeah, 529 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: I got some male fans, but partly women. So that's 530 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: a conflict of interest when you got to give all 531 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: of yourself, especially now with social media, right, they want 532 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: to know what you drink, what you smoke, which you 533 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: where what you don't know? What I'm saying, Yeah, everything 534 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: you think going to take for you to have a 535 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: successful relationship. Um, a woman that's gonna willing to adjust 536 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: to me, you know what I'm saying, and me not 537 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 1: trying to adjust to her music would never be secondary 538 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: to nothing. You know what I'm saying, like she's after 539 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: the music. But when I say that, because music is 540 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: my livelihood, it's how I sleep at night, and so 541 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: how I take care of my mom, pops, my siblings. 542 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: Uh So I'm always got to unapologetically be my full self. Right. Um, 543 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: I could have we could have a date Friday plan, 544 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: But if I got to go to New York to 545 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: handle some business, then guess what that date.

So 548 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a woman that understands who I am, 549 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: understand the struggle. If you can understand my struggle, that's 550 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: why I talk about the seven years of struggle.

At this point? I mean, 831 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: don't get no bigger than number one? But can I 832 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: make another number one? For sure? Yeah? That's easy. It's 833 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: just I understand what comes with making a hit record. 834 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: It's not the record just solely by itself. Is the 835 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 1: machine behind it? You know what I'm saying people, It's 836 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: not like just a hit record. If the label don't 837 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: press the SAMI button on that record, I don't care 838 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: if you got Drake on it. If if they don't 839 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: champion it, now put some millions up in No, it's 840 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: just gonna be a cool song with Drake on it, 841 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But can I create a 842 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: number another number one? Yeah? The easiest thing in my 843 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: life is creating music, good music, great music. And every 844 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: record won't be a number one. Some would be anthem, 845 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: some would be a spiritual connection, some wonna be a 846 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: sex song. But at the end of the day, I 847 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 1: cannot create bad music because I've dedicated my whole life 848 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: to that craft. You know what I mean just like 849 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: that's the one thing I can't fail at. So yeah, 850 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: can I create some more number ones for self? Absolutely? 851 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,479 Speaker 1: And now that I'm with the gang rs V paid 852 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: for sure. It's just a matter of the machine getting 853 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 1: behind and doing what they're supposed to do. It takes 854 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: a village, you know what I'm saying. It's not about 855 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: just the artist doing his part. It takes everybody. Um, 856 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm top to bottom. You thank too amazing right now, 857 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: we boss is enough. We all got enough money by 858 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: ourselves individually to uh do what we do. I mean 859 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: we've gotten some some some office. Uh. It's so funny 860 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: because no one's even really heard the music, you know 861 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They just this this group ship. There's 862 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: no pressure. It's fun because they're expecting it to fail. 863 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: For really, I think they just want to watch it crumble, 864 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: you know what. They want to watch it because it's entertaining. 865 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: They want to watch it because Sammy and Raj always 866 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: like bicker and then played Pussure peace crazy and Bob 867 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: just be chilling and happy to be here. Like it's 868 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: an interesting concoction of guys to put together. But uh, 869 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the ball rolling on our own that 870 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: way if we have a partner and signing to nobody. 871 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: But if we have a partner, you know, you can't 872 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: come with no peanuts. We all individually have success. We're 873 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: all cool, we all choring, we all got Ray Jay's mogul. 874 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: He's straight, you know what I'm saying. Sammy straight, pe straight, 875 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: Bob straight. So he just had to make a lot 876 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: of sense. That's all a lot of sense. When the 877 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: Graham you said, five more years and you're hanging up 878 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: the music and you're retiring, that was real. That's my spirit, 879 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: you know. And they say we make plans and God laughs, 880 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: But um, yeah, for sure. I always wanted. But that 881 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: was always the man done with music, not done creating it. 882 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: Because you say I will always create, because I if 883 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: I don't create, and I feel like I saw, I 884 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: saw and three thousand say something like, you don't feel good, 885 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: like I damn ever feel sick if I'm not the 886 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: studio too long ago, if I'm off the stage, trung 887 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 1: me too, Like, I think that's just what creatives feel, 888 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: but not in the front. I've been through so many 889 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: things and so many different areas of his music thing. 890 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: Now I could get an artist and got him. I 891 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: heard the right way. I'm gonna always write music because 892 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: my opinions ever lasting, you know what I'm saying. Um, 893 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: But I just don't want to have to tour. You know, 894 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: when people it's a difference from when you do music 895 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: to survive and you do it just because you love 896 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 1: to do it. Even right now, I'm just doing music 897 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: because I love to do it, So I want to 898 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: love it at least for five more years and right 899 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: off into the sunset.

You know, what I'm saying, and then 1033 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 1: life just started being amazing. That's when another I just 1034 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: got off the Millennium to an October November last year, 1035 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: I went on another tour of March through April for 1036 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: forty days with Eric Belinger, thinking I'm chilling versus happened, 1037 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: Thinking I'm chilling Millennium to a turned up about to 1038 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,919 Speaker 1: start October to November rs VP happened.

You know what I'm saying, And 1040 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: I'm just a piece and I'm not doing nothing, ain't 1041 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: put out a project in two years, just chilling them 1042 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: making money off of nostalgia and the history of Sammy. 1043 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: And I believe not saying she was holding me back, 1044 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: but if she was a person no if to think 1045 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,720 Speaker 1: about it, if she was a person that was supposed 1046 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,879 Speaker 1: to go with me, then she wouldn't be without like think, 1047 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 1: We'll be holding on the relationships and homeboards and niggas 1048 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: you grew up with for ten five team. So that's 1049 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 1: that's a clear example of God holding your blessing to 1050 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: the until you because because the thing is the thing 1051 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: is you've been knowing that this person and this individual, 1052 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: it's not just relationship. It could be your homie, it 1053 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 1: could be your your business partner. You know you you 1054 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: thought internally, like, man, this nigga just won't get right, 1055 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to take them with me. That's your problem, 1056 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: That's what your plan is. You're trying to take them. 1057 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,760 Speaker 1: God is trying to say let go. But we wanted 1058 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: our way. We want to be at the top with 1059 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 1: all people right. We don't want people to to look 1060 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: at his funny and say he not with none of 1061 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: his day ones. I've learned this. A lot of my 1062 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: circle are not the niggas that I was around two 1063 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: thousand nine when I lost everything. Yeah, they did something 1064 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: along the way that they cut themselves out or I 1065 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: had to let them go. And I have no problem 1066 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: letting go anybody that don't serve me. You know what 1067 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying, You're not about to stop me, Like Sammy 1068 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: has a vision for himself that no man, no woman, 1069 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: not my mama, not my daddy, not my brother, not 1070 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: my sister. And I'm the ones I love the most. 1071 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 1: If I can reposition them some kind of way, if 1072 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: they're trying to pull me back or stop me, and 1073 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: I can definitely cut off a girl. So I think 1074 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: every extra that I had served her purpose, some for 1075 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 1: the better, something for the worst, you know what I'm saying. 1076 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: But it's no love losses like that was the journey, 1077 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,399 Speaker 1: and the journey is the destination. Show. You gotta let 1078 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 1: go if you if you want to go. Yeah. But 1079 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: I think sometimes like speaking about letting go and all 1080 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: that kind of shape when it comes to relationships, friendships 1081 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 1: and all of that, I think sometimes it's kind of 1082 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: hard for people to let go because when you're so 1083 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: loyal to a situation, they say you could be loyal 1084 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: to a fault, It's, yeah, you're loyal to a fault. 1085 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,759 Speaker 1: And then when you even the thought of even like 1086 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: letting go this situation that you feel like you have 1087 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: to be loyal to kind of brings on an internal 1088 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 1: guilt sort of, and it's kind of like, you know, 1089 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: you gotta do this, but it's like, damn, like is 1090 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: this what I'm really supposed to be doing? Like type yeah, 1091 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 1: but you don't know. And to Hans, you know, they 1092 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: say hindsight, right, So if you just stay, if you 1093 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: just stay, yeah, exactly know what I'm saying. You come, 1094 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: you come to your senses. In most cases so so 1095 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like holding onto something and staying 1096 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 1: stacking in that same situation and expecting a different outcome 1097 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: is called insanity. Right, doing the same thing respecting a 1098 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: different result. Let go let God, let let them let 1099 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 1: him do a sting. So I don't I personally don't 1100 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: want any of my exras back one of them. One 1101 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: is engaged, I'm happy for her, one just thinks it 1102 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: is in a relationship, and the last one I don't 1103 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen her since we broke up, don't know what 1104 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 1: she's doing, don't know where she at. God bless yeah, 1105 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: my karmer cleaning. I listen, God bless you, like seriously, 1106 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: Like it's I live a great life.

So as the grandmar Whistle ship, 1111 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 1: you feel like you didn't get a chance to do 1112 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: in your career life that you really want to do. Um, 1113 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: there's just certain people I really respect and want to 1114 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 1: collab with. And I know if I was in the 1115 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 1: major situations at the time, you know what I'm saying, 1116 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: We'll be able to make those plays happen.
